Living Mural at Dwell on Design, Wall Art in Dwell
Dwell celebrates the rich tradition of murals and street art in Los Angeles with Living Mural at Dwell on Design, created by a collective of local artists over the course of the weekend. In honor of the project, we gather 5 other examples of contemporary murals and street art, previously featured in the pages of Dwell. For more highlights of Dwell on Design 2013, happening in Los Angeles June 21-23, check out our event's sister site.
Completed in 2008, the Mountain Dwellings is the second of BIG’s three projects in Ørestad, a new neighborhood in Copenhagen where development is attracting many new inhabitants. The result does looks like a mountain—hence the building’s name and the inspiration for the mural of Mount Everest that adorns the 82-foot-high facade.
